^(/[^/\0]+)+/?$Python (re) code
pyPython
import re
pattern = re.compile(r"^(/[^/\0]+)+/?$")
input_text = "/home/user/documents"
for m in pattern.finditer(input_text):
print(m.group(0))Stdlib `re` module — no third-party dependency. Works on Python 3.6+.
How the pattern works
`^(/[^/\0]+)+` matches one or more path segments beginning with `/`, excluding null and additional slashes within segments. `/?$` allows optional trailing slash.
